Time to wake up, America

NOTE: The following letter to the editor was submitted by Mike and Kathy Schwab of Greenwich:

All Americans need to wake up and see the Trump administration for what it is. Trump is systematically destroying America’s values, beliefs and democracy step by step.

What has a year and a half done for our country?

Trump has pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement. He has not proposed a new agreement and the conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump has cut banking regulations provided by Dodd-Frank (put into law to protect you).

Trump has cut EPA regulations on clean water and air (put into law to protect you and your family).

Trump has undermined the Affordable Care Act with a promise of a better health care system. He has not proposed a replacement and the conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal. He has not proposed a new deal and the conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump is tearing immigrant families apart leaving children without parents to care for them. When the support is pulled from these children, besides the trauma they are experiencing, guess who is going to take care of them? Think about it. The conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump is undermining our rule of law and the entire judicial system. No one is above the law. The conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump creates chaos with our long-time allies around the world and buddies up to authoritarian regimes of Putin, Kim Jung Un and Xi Jinping. The conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump provides thoughts and prayers to survivors of school and other shootings. He has not proposed any gun law changes (other than bump stocks). The conservative Congress does nothing.

Trump has cut Medicare and Social Security. All of us, regardless of party, have contributed to these funds our entire work career and seniors depend upon them. The conservation Congress does nothing.

Trump lies to the American People daily and what’s worse, a lot of people believe him.
